Bible Question: according to the bible, how many days is in the year? and what year are we leaving in? |
Bible Answer: Though you can see from Rev 11 that 42 months of 30 days equals 1260 days, the Hebrews knew there was a lunar calender and a solar one. Whether they used a mixture of 29 day and 30 day months or just purely 30 day months, they had leap months just like we have leap years. They would add in a thirteenth month to make the lunar calender stay close to the solar one. Their solar calender was based on the points the sun made its most northerly and southerly movements, so their years are the same as ours. Now the Jews count back to some point to set a year number different from the Christians. In the time of the Monarchy, the did not use any such concept. The years were reset with each new king. Therefore, the Bible doesn't say what year we are in. Greentwiga |
